Chapter 24: Darkness is Coming
Three years later
In a thatched hut, Lian Yan was sitting by the campfire leaning on the fish she had just caught. Behind her, Li Tianhang was walking to the bonfire with the wet clothes he had just changed.
"Tianhang, it's been so long, don't you want to go back and have a look?" asked Lian Yan as he looked at the bonfire in front of him.
"Ah Lian, didn't I say that? During this time, I won't go anywhere, I'll stay here with you. Come, I'll help you bake" Li Tianhang gently looked at the lotus fish in front of him, and took the grilled fish in the lotus man's hand and roasted it himself.
Three years ago, Lian Yan woke up from bed and found Li Tianhang dozing off beside him. She knew that Li Tianhang hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and she hadn't woken up, and Li Tianhang had been by her side every inch. ”
"Tianhang, I'm almost fine now, or let's go back, I don't mind. "Lian Yan still wants Li Tianhang to return to Moyi Pavilion, after all, Li Tianhang is the master of Moyi Pavilion, and he can't ignore Moyi Pavilion's affairs because of his own affairs.
"Ah Lian, I have handed over the management of the Moyi Pavilion to Jiahua, and I believe in his ability, so don't mention letting me go back. Li Tianhang looked at the fish that had been grilled in his hand, tore off a piece of fish meat, and handed it to Lian Yan.
Lian Yan knew very well in his heart that in the past three years, whenever he wanted Li Tianhang to go back, Li Tianhang would refuse. She also knows very well that she has less than two years left, although she is very reluctant, but these three years have already made Lian Yan feel the taste of being loved.
"Tianhang, I know I have less than two years left. Lian Yan suddenly said this, causing Li Tianhang on the side to stop the movements in his hand.
"I'm content. I've had a lot of fun every day for the past three years, but I don't want to drag you down because of myself..."
"I see, Arlene. Li Tianhang put the torn fish meat in a bowl, handed it to Lian Yan, and then turned around and walked into the grass hut.
Lian Yan looked at the bowl full of fish in his hand, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back.
The light of the bonfire is reflected in the dark night, and everything seems beautiful, but in fact it is very cruel.
Today's rivers and lakes have long changed, and the once three major forces are now only Moyi Pavilion and Tianlang Courtyard. And that Qiyue Building, as early as two years ago, was wiped out, and the owner of the building, Yu Shengyan, was nowhere to be seen. And the four major families, only Murong and Nangong families remain, and everything is because of the Northern Hell's family. A dark force has risen in the shadows, known as the Nether Cult to the outside world. And the source of this Netherworld Cult has also appeared back in the past—darkness is coming, and only I am in the Netherworld. Back then, Yu Shengyan picked up a note with this passage written in Beiming's house, and in the next two years, Qiyuelou also became the first victim. Although Moyi Pavilion and Tianlang Courtyard are not as good as Qiyue Tower, they have also been affected.
The Chunyi Garden, a branch of the Moyi Pavilion, was robbed by the Netherworld Sect, and now it has become the territory of the Netherworld Sect, but Qiu Xi was injured by the Netherworld Sect when he was protecting Lan Ling, and he is still in a coma. Tianlang Yuan was a little lucky, and only received a little fluctuation, after all, behind Tianlang Yuan was the entire imperial court, and no matter how powerful the people of the Netherworld Sect were, they would not dare to go against the imperial court.
It was raining in the sky, and Li Tianhang came out of the grass hut to extinguish the bonfire outside, and returned to the house with the lotus tree. The rain gradually became heavier, and there was leakage everywhere in the thatched hut, Li Tianhang held the lotus in his arms, ready to rest, and at this time, Li Tianhang heard the sparse footsteps outside: "Ah Lian, I'll go out and have a look." Li Tianhang settled the lotus mourning, quietly walked to the door, and looked out towards the crack in the door, but it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing, but Li Tianhang could still hear the sparse footsteps, could it be that he was too worried? Li Tianhang was still relieved in his heart, and when he was about to open the door, an arrow suddenly shot at the door.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu~" Li Tianhang immediately closed the door of the room, only to hear the sound of arrows shooting in the air.
"Ah Lian, be careful. Li Tianhang ran to the side of the bed, wrapped the lotus dead with the bedding on the bed, and blocked it behind him. At this moment, the roof was suddenly lifted, and five men in black fell, armed with long knives and crossbows on their backs.
"Who are you?" Li Tianhang asked loudly, at this time, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a man walked in from outside: "The person who wants your life." As soon as the words fell, the five black-clothed men rushed towards Li Tianhang with long knives in their hands.
Li Tianhang casually took out a wooden sword from under the bed and held it in front of his chest. But this is a wooden sword after all, how can it be compared to that long knife. I saw a man in black holding a long knife and slashing at the wooden sword.
"Smack~" The wooden sword was divided into two, Li Tianhang frowned, and could only resist with his palm.
Li Tianhang rushed towards the five people and resisted with his palm. Although Li Tianhang's martial arts were better than the man in black in front of him, after all, he had no weapon in his hand, and he was still slashed twice on the back by two men in black.
"Tianhang," Lian Yan saw that Li Tianhang was injured, and immediately ran from the bed to Li Tianhang's side.
"I'm fine, Alian. Li Tianhang leaned his back against the bed and hugged Lian Yan tightly.
"Li Tianhang, my master has an order, and when he meets you, he will be executed on the spot. Don't blame me. The man in black by the door pulled out the long sword in his hand and stabbed at Li Tianhang.
At this moment, a voice came from outside: "If you want to kill him, you asked me first." I saw a white-haired woman walking slowly from a distance.
"Yu Shengyan?" Li Tianhang found that this white-haired woman turned out to be Yu Shengyan, how did she become like this?
"Yo, who should I be, it turns out that the owner of Qiyue Tower. Ah, no, Qiyuelou is no longer there, and you're just a homeless person now. Li Tianhang listened to the words of the black cloth and looked at the jade shengyan in front of him: "Lord of the Jade Building, what's wrong with the Qiyue Building?"
"Qiyue Tower is no longer there, and the people in the building, I am the only one left to live alone in this world. A tear appeared in the corner of Yu Shengyan's eye.
"Give me death!" Yu Shengyan shot out a hidden weapon and killed all the nameless black-clothed people who had just fought against Li Tianhang.
"Yu Shengyan, I advise you not to meddle now, otherwise don't blame me. I saw the man looking at Yu Shengyan with a murderous expression.
"Rokan, today I want to avenge the people in my building. Stop the immortal finger. Yu Shengyan shot a secret weapon from his sleeve towards Luo Kan. And Luo Kan casually dragged the man in black in his hand in front of him and blocked this hidden weapon. The person who was hit by the hidden weapon glanced at Lokan and fell to the ground.
